It’s been a five years since I last visited India, which was with my friend Chindi Varadarajulu, who used to own the wonderful Chutney Villa Restaurant on Broadway. It was there I first had my introduction to dosas, those delicate and large crisp crepes made of fermented rice and lentil batter. |
Now it was the North to visit, set on the Golden Triangle of Rajasthan. A guest of Etihad Airways, I flew to Toronto with my partner and photographer Michel Chicoine on Saturday morning, early enough to have dinner with one of my dear Toronto culinary friends, Bonnie Stern. Arriving into a light snow fall, we headed to... |

You may have never realized how tough it is for an American liberal when the Olympics roll around. On the one hand, it’s an event that naturally lends itself to patriotism because the teams are broken down by nations. On the other hand, liberals don’t like America very much and the idea of publicly showing love for the... |
Here’s leftie David Sirota explaining it in a beyond-parody column called, “Don’t chant ‘U.S.A.!’ It’s liberal Americans’ Olympic dilemma: How do they root for their countrymen without being jingoistic?” |
And yet, as I’ve grown older, I find my “U.S.A.!”-chanting reflex increasingly interrupted by pangs of discomfort, and not because I’m ashamed of our country or our Olympians, but because the relationship between American nationalism and the Olympics |

What Nations Were The Most Forward-Looking In 2012? |
Originally published on Thu February 7, 2013 9:16 pm |
Germany was the world's most future-oriented country in 2012, followed by Switzerland and Japan, according to the "Future Orientation Index." Researchers found that in Germany and 10 nations last year, more people used Google to search for "2013" than for "2011." |
The 11 countries represent a gain over 2011, when only seven countries had as many searches for the upcoming year as for the prior one. |
According to researchers who conducted the study, "the online 'future orientation' of a country is strongly correlated with the country's per capita gross domestic product (GDP)," as they wrote in Nature's Scientific Reports last April. The scienti |

The victim said he and another man were walking together having left a party on Kipling Drive, according to the Madison Police Department. |
